Yotta Data Services received Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Indian Company of the Year award for leadership in sovereign AI infrastructure.
Frost & Sullivan has announced that Yotta Data Services has received the 2026 Indian Company of the Year Recognition in the AI infrastructure industry for its outstanding achievements in sovereign cloud infrastructure, AI-ready compute environments, and customer-centric innovation. This recognition highlights Yotta Data Services' leadership in enabling secure, compliant, and high-performance AI infrastructure that supports India's evolving digital transformation and artificial intelligence ecosystem. Frost & Sullivan evaluated the company through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. According to Harsh Singh, Associate at Frost & Sullivan, "Yotta has emerged as a cornerstone of India's sovereign AI ecosystem by closing critical infrastructure gaps with purpose-built, AI-ready data centers that deliver security, performance, and regulatory alignment at scale."
Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on sovereign AI infrastructure, localized cloud ecosystems, and regional expansion, Yotta Data Services has positioned itself as a foundational force supporting India's AI ambitions. Under the leadership of co-founder, MD and CEO Sunil Gupta, the company continues to strengthen India's role in the global AI landscape by building infrastructure designed to meet domestic and regional AI compute requirements. The company's strategic investments in hyperscale data centers, sovereign cloud capabilities, and AI-focused platforms have enabled it to scale effectively while addressing demand for compliant and secure AI infrastructure.
Innovation remains central to Yotta Data Services' approach. Its AI-ready infrastructure portfolio includes Shakti Cloud, which provides GPU infrastructure at scale, and Shakti Studio, an AI Token factory. Built on NVIDIA-certified hardware stacks, high-speed InfiniBand networks, and advanced AI software frameworks, these platforms simplify AI deployment and accelerate model training, inference, and enterprise AI adoption. Yotta currently has 1,024 L40s and 8,192 H100 GPUs live at its NM1 Data Center in Navi Mumbai, and plans to scale to more than 80,000 next-generation GPUs by FY27-28, including B200 and B300 GPUs.
Yotta's commitment to operational excellence is evident in its infrastructure facilities. The company's Tier IV-certified Navi Mumbai facility and large-scale Greater Noida data center campus have been purpose-built to support dense AI workloads with high power efficiency, scalability, and low-latency performance. Yotta is set to deploy 30,000 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 Ultra GPUs at its 60 MW D2 data center at Greater Noida hyperscale campus, which is scalable to 250 MW, and 36,000 GB300/Vera Rubin GPUs at its 75 MW NM2 data centre at Navi Mumbai hyperscale campus, which is scalable to 2 GW. The company's locally governed infrastructure model enables organizations to maintain data residency in India while ensuring predictable pricing and reduced dependence on international hyperscalers. By operating its own substations, integrating renewable energy sources, and implementing closed-loop cooling systems, Yotta demonstrates a future-focused approach to sustainable AI infrastructure.
Reflecting on the recognition, Sunil Gupta stated: "Frost & Sullivan's recognition is a testament to Yotta's mission of building the foundational infrastructure that will power India's AI future. As AI reshapes economies and societies, we are focused on creating sovereign, world-class AI cloud platforms that give India greater technological self-reliance, global competitiveness, and the ability to innovate at scale. This honour belongs to our customers, partners, and teams who share our vision of positioning India among the world's leading AI and digital infrastructure hubs."
